Please attach the actual survey demonstrating the problem.

For this bug, I believe that Mazi wants to see why the JavaScript solution, e.g. the one referenced in your post (http://www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-with-limesurvey/78437-just-show-one-question-from-randomized-group-hide-the-others?lang=en#78686), did not work.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I have attached the survey gone bad with the Java script solution to the same problem. It contains 4 questions in one group.

First question randomizes a number, and it seems to output fine in the short text window. The same number however cant seem to be referenced through Relevance field (on the subsequent questions). Its like it was never there, and the data-tables dont register it either - NULL.

So, it pops up, visible to see (just run the survey) but I dont seem to be able to use it somehow.

This isn't a bug in LS, but perhaps highlights a need to clarify how best to use custom JavaScript with Expression Manager.

Your custom JavaScript should have been:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
$(document).ready(function()
{
// Find a random number between 1 and 4
var randNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*3 + 1);
$('input#answer12739X218X3728').val(randNumber);
checkconditions(randNumber,'12739X218X3728','text');
})
//-->
</script>

Checkconditions() must be called in order for EM to process the new value you set for the variable (e.g. to ensure that the new value is stored within the hidden variables that are submitted, and call the relevance equations to change which questions are visible).
